I thought you can craft bone weapons, guess not huh

You can. There's a lot of things you can do with bones.

Bone weapons suck, though.

a) focus completely on collecting brewable plants from the surface and making as many BARRELS of alcohol as we can.
b) finding a way to plant brewable plants, probably surface plants at the moment but plump helmets eventually
Sukhāvatī given the increased flow of foodstuffs from the surface, maybe consider reducing the scope of the food district only to the food processing part and focus on the Kommunalka before the workers get sober are overwhelmed by unmet needs and start asking where the hell is the Tsar Queen?
Fixing the BOOZE situation and therefore our mass unhappiness problem is the top priority, so whatever gets that done quickest (without risking the lives of the OG dwarves) is good to go.

Btw if i was Helly i would use cannon fodder proletariat sent on suicide mission to farm on surface to build my own KKK with blackjack and hookers. Or at least to dig second entrance and steal food.

Grimwulf Sorting out the food district is another top priority problem, will it be excavated come winter? What's the ETA on getting it in a useable/constructed state?

Normally, the whole fortress layer would be dug out before the end of Winter. We have plenty of picks and enough experienced miners for that. Actual construction might take a little longer due to the boulder/stone district situation, but it shouldn't be a problem as well.

HOWEVAR, since you decided to assign Givi as the Head Miner, there is no telling how fast will it go. It will depend on the mood of the miners. Some dwarves would rather do grunt work or none work at all. In addition to that, you ordered a tavern. The whole goddamn fortress might relocate to the tavern, drink, sing, do other useless shit, I don't know. Don't care either. I will stay RIGHT HERE, coz I can't move in my goddamn armor.

Tindril as head miner will give him 3 dedicated miners, and Givi as head miner will assign as many males as he can to lazy mining. What would be your estimate on how many Givi could recruit?

I wanna know what our bars be

It's in my previous post that I linked for you! :argh:

To the left is raw ores and stones; to the right is our current bars; ignore the red squares - they were for Sukhavati

Basically, every male grunt in Redlabored will be given a pickaxe. I'd say 20, give or take, depending on how fast Andnjord can provide us with additional picks. We have 7 picks atm, if I'm not mistaken.

Miners with no experience are very slow, though. And I doubt the newcomers will git gud at mining by the end of Winter.

You want to nickname your son Reinhardt? Name him after his mother?

:prosper:

Eh, 7 lazy inexperienced miners can't compete with 4 dedicated ones. Unless Andnjord can knock out a good amount of picks on the double I think I'll have to change the head miner to Tindril.

I would assume direct control as the fourth best miner, but I've never played nor even read an LP of DF before, so I wouldn't be comfortable doing so. I'll volunteer for mining duty at any rate.

Wow, Sukhāvatī, do you have some kommunist third world dictators in your family? Just ranked a bunch of newcomers as class 2 citizens and exiled to the surface for no crime
:shredder:

Grimwulf, I remember you trying to put Sukhāvatī in a position of goolag overseer earlier, before all the elections stuff. But now with Sukha being a manager and Helly fleeing the fortress, I'd love to suggest my candidature for that prestigious post! I have the decent stonemason skill to direct the construction of the Skkkulfort, and my poor dear Catacombs needs some surface air once in a while. Doctor Azira says it's good for his health!

And to be fair, those non-assigned dorfs need someone to stand up for them before our new nomenclature members

NO DEER LEAVES MY FORTRESS ALIVE! Consider this YOUR GODDAMN KOMMISSAR's mandate!

Wait, it's winter outside! Can we have a special christmas dinner with reindeer for a main course? :desu:

The thread has escalated quickly.
"Givi the Head Miner", "finger Sukhavati", Name [son] after his mother"...
Stop!
Don't. :smug:

And I was going to joke about Nut-kin's love of strong women on top and a trap god of kapitalism, but then

No worries. I'm trying to keep this LP noob-friendly. There is no need to overthink your decisions, I (as a player) can handle BAD and even CATASTROPHIC situations without losing the fortress, by the sheer amount of alcohol I'm consuming. Helly's management wasn't only fun to write and hopefully to read, it was also fun to play. Love me a good challenge.

Which I admittedly failed. Had to call for new elections before Helly's term of office ran out - couldn't find a way for us to survive without booze AND water without violating Helly's directives.

From a gameplay perspective, Helly bested Grimwulf after all.

So you should really do what you feel is right, not what's right mechanically speaking. Worst case scenario, most of us will die, others will go insane, I will beat you with my golden sword, then banish you and all your unborn children to Gulag.

But Redlabored will live on.

I'd love to suggest my candidature for that prestigious post!

Yes, sure, oversee the Gulag if you want. Oh, you are also my new mason. 22 hours of cutting stone blocks, 2 hours to sleep and drink. No weekends or days-off.

my poor dear Catacombs needs some surface air once in a while. Doctor Azira says it's good for his health!

Doctor Azira said we're gonna have 8 babies this Autumn. He also said my member will come back to its former glory. He says a lot of things, none of them are true.

I need both you AND Catacombs right here in the masonries. Skullfort will be constructed when the komrades vote for it. Gulag was supposed to be a temporary prison (before we build a proper one), but now we have no prisoners. Might as well forget about it.

Wait, it's winter outside! Can we have a special christmas dinner with reindeer as a main course? :desu:

NOW you're talking my language! Bon fucking Appetit.

Do I have a say in whether I accept the nomination as the head miner or not for Shoduk's sake? Also, to what extent can I plan what I'll be doing? Can I abscond from mining once I reach legendary level for example?

Alright.

Let's assign to exports 7 out of every 10 gold bars for the first 50 bars; 5 out of every 10 bars for the following 50; and 3 out of every 10 bars for the rest. So with our current stock of 79 gold bars we would be selling 55.


Basically we are sitting on a lot of gold bars right now but significantly more gold ore and so I want to sell off a good share of the former to get the types of things we lack at present, however in case Sukhavati's metal industry expansion manages to convert a bunch of the ores to bars prior to the next caravan's arrival I don't want to sell off the lion's share of our total gold stock when it could be used for crafts.

As it looks like we neither have a gem setter (if I'm wrong lemme know asap mothafuckaz) nor plans to expand gem industry in the near future, let's also assign all of our cut gems into exports as well.

Oh and baud Andnjord Azira thank you for the preliminary import info as well

1. No, nobody in KKK has a say about anything. Sukhavati didn't want to be a manager. Lagole Lon didn't want to be LITTUL FAGGUT KRY PUSSY KUNTFACE. I didn't want a fortress full of incompetent, treacherous bastards. But such is life here - from each according to his ability.

2. You are a legendary miner already.

3. You career as the Head Miner is over. Sukhavati changed her mind about you, and appointed Tindrli for the position.

I think I'll have to change the head miner to Tindril.

Can You assign me to do some battle training (not with Kalin, thank you), esp heavy armor, in my spare time? I really want to find out whether this pickax berserker thing works.
